"Such a wonderfully unique festival" - Joe Bob Briggs

"Telluride Horror Show is one of the most exciting fests operating today. The scenery is unmatched and the passion of the programmers is obvious with the killer lineup each year. I'm totally honored to have been some small part of it for two years. I think people will be kicking themselves when the fest becomes this unstoppable giant and they didn't get in on it early. I'm mostly excited because it's a festival that offers so many experiences - it can be a nonstop party or a totally laid back weekend of movies in the mountains -  whatever kind of time a guest wants to have, you guys make happen. That's why I pledge allegiance to Telluride Horror Show." - Mickey Keating, Director (Psychopaths, Darling, Carnage Park)

"I had a fantastic time! The films were great, the location was fabulous, and the people were the best." - Stephen Chiodo, Director, (Killer Klowns from Outer Space)

"Those are people who know what they're doing running a film festival." - Phil Tippett

"Great audience and goddamn, Telluride is a slice of heaven!  What an amazing place!"
- Greg McLean, Director (Jungle, The Belko Experiment, Wolf Creek)

"Telluride Horror Show is by far my favorite film festival. The scenery is awe-inspiring, the crowds are bursting with energy and the films are handpicked by some of the most genuine fans of the genre. I couldn't recommend it enough!" - Damien Leone, Director (Terrifier, All Hallows' Eve)

"We've been to a bunch of these by now, and Telluride was a real peak experience. Of course the beauty of the setting is totally unique, but it was also just such a well-organized, well-curated, and friendly festival ... and we couldn't have been happier with our screening, from the gorgeous Sheridan Opera House to the packed, super-engaged crowd. I think it was the best, most enthusiastic audience reception we've yet had, including the great Q&A. Your audiences are the best! " - David Marmor, Director (1BR)

"Telluride Horror Show was fantastic to my film and a wonderful place to have our world premiere. Great staff, full crowds, and a beautiful town. Couldn't ask for a better experience." - Michael Peer, Director (Doll), Telluride Horror Show Short Film Selection

"We honestly had the time of our lives. We got good feedback all throughout the weekend from various festival goers on the short as well, which was awesome and humbling. The community feel of the whole weekend was unmatched. " - Jim Valosik, Director (Mongers), Telluride Horror Show Short Film Selection

"Telluride Horror Show is known for its tremendous shorts programming, and the fans certainly come out for it."
-Meredith Borders, Birth.Movies.Death

"This festival was amazing. Telluride is gorgeous and the people are extremely friendly. The festival director Ted is a really genuine guy. Everyone is grounded, down to earth, and humble. ...I had a fantastic time. Definitely in my top festivals and would love to attend again." - Nikhil Bhagat, Director (As They Continue To Fall), Telluride Horror Show Short Film Selection

"Whether I have a film playing next year or not I'll be back because seriously, there is no cooler town to spend the weekend watching some fun movies with good people! Not the easiest place to get to which goes to show you how fantastic of a show they put on because I met horror fans that came from all over. Every screening I attended was packed and with some of the best audiences I've encountered. Don't miss this one!" - Anthony Cousins, Director (When Susurrus Stirs), Telluride Horror Show Short Film Selection

“The festival was very well organized, and the response from the audiences at the screenings was a wonderful experience. Telluride itself was absolutely beautiful, and the organizers treated us extremely well. We can't wait until next year's festival.” -Tom Holland, Director (Fright Night, Child's Play)

"A full roasted pig, with the fat-saturated eyeballs up for grabs in the lobby of a gorgeous old opera house teeming with horror filmmakers and fans is how the Telluride Horror Show kicks off every year. And we couldn't have asked for a better festival to premiere our film "The Battery" in. Ted, the festival director and his team bend over backwards to accommodate traveling filmmakers; and the audience is a lively mix of horror and film fans, critics, writers, and rabble-rousing locals. The town is absurdly intimate in a way that makes for near constant run-ins with attendees looking to jaw about movies over a beer or a great cup of coffee between screenings all day. And all of this is to say nothing of the view: a majestic frontier town just begging for a Leone-style showdown nestled in the palm of the most classic, craggy, snow-capped mountains one could imagine. Waking up there every morning is a true privilege, with every window in every building looking out on an Ansel Adams shot brought to striking life. If there weren't enough reasons for a filmmaker to finally finish that movie they've been talking about and send it kicking and screaming out into the world, then Telluride Horror is one more. Just writing about it now is enough to make me long for October again, and has me hoping I've got another film ready in time to enjoy the reception all over again." -Jeremy Gardner, Director (The Battery), 2012 Telluride Horror Show World Premiere
